Absolutely phenomenal product, it came in it’s box properly packaged, it’s lightweight and works perfectly for my Xbox One. Whether you’re buying this to increase storage on a gaming console or store data for traveling, I would highly recommend this product.
It’s slim and small enough to fit in my small compartments of my backpack. The ONLY problem I have with this product, and it’s minute enough to not warrant a 4-star, is that while it’s advertised as 2 TB of storage, in reality it’s only 1.8 TB of storage. I don't quite understand the specifics of why it has 200 GB less than advertised, but I can imagine during the converting/formatting of the product during manufacturing has caused it to no longer “see” where the 200 GB has gone.
I’m sure I could use their tech support to have fixed this issue, however, I've committed it and converted it to the Xbox One’s game storage and do not feel that tech support would be able to fix this issue without suggesting I format the SSD and lose about 1.2 TB of games.
